Big Plays lift Yale to Key 31-24 Victory at Dartmouth

HANOVER, N.H. – Yale didn't have a lot of success on third down for the first three quarters Saturday against Dartmouth. But when it mattered the most, the Bulldogs came through. On a 3rd-and-4 play midway through the fourth, quarterback Nolan Grooms and receiver Ryan Lindley connected on a 69-yard touchdown pass that snapped a 24-24 tie and lifted Yale to a thrilling 31-24 victory over the Big Green on a dreary day at Memorial Field.
